DocumentNigeria: FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) Federal Republic of Nigeria 2013-2017 2013

No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) which opened the Nigeria Representation Office in 1978 has been providing unabated support to the country in the formulation and implementation of policies, strategies, programmes and projects in food, agriculture and natural resources that aim to improve food security and nutrition in a broad-based, equitable and sustainable manner and reduce poverty. In providing this assistance, FAO has always focused on enhancing the livelihood of smallholders, who form the bulk of the rural poor, in a way that is technically, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. FAO's current field programme in Nigeria is guided by the National Medium Term Priority Framework (renamed to Country Programming Framework, CPF) covering the programming cycle for 2009-2012. Because the programming cycle ended in December 2012, the Government of Nigeria formally requested FAO to initiate the preparation of another round of CPF that will further consolidate the achievement of the on-going Nigeria economic transformation agenda. This new CPF for Nigeria describes FAO’s medium term assistance priorities and results, derived from nationally defined priorities and objectives, to be achieved over the five-year period of the country’s programming cycle (2013-2017). -

No Thumbnail AvailableProjectReport to the government of Nigeria on experiments in brackish-water fish culture in the Niger Delta, Nigeria (1965-1968) 1970

No results found.The objective of the project was to assist the Government in the establishment of an experimental fish farm on the Island of Buguma, Degema District, Rivers State, Nigeria, and to carry out experimental studies on the culture of locally occurring brackish-water fishes and shellfishes. The expert working on the project supervised the construction of the farm and started studies for the selection of species for culture in brackish-water ponds. Two species of local mullet and pink prawn were used s eparately and in combination. From a preliminary study, the brackish-water catfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) and sardine (Sardinella aurita) appeared to be suitable for culture. Studies on the common mangrove oyster in Lagos showed that it grew to an average size of 70 mm in about seven months. The common carp and fresh-water catfish, Clarias sp., were acclimatized to brackish-water conditions. The project was terminated due to the internal situation in the country. It is hoped to revive the work when conditions return to normal.
